Raw edge applique, trapunto and hand beading through the tail, I loved making this quilt and was rewarded with a first prize and a best of show ribbon at the Perth Royal Show! All the materials are 100% cotton including the wadding. I drafted the pattern from a photo of a stained glass window made by some talented Australians.</p>Wake and rejoicehttp://www.quiltersclubofamerica.com/media/p/645676.aspxThu, 29 May 2014 02:55:56 GMT722ae0af-0843-4f69-80d5-ea157d187469:645676Megan Byrne3<p>I do enjoy making quilts from stained glass windows. This lovely conservatory picture of a peacock drinking from a fountain offered so many fabric choices. The peacock has a lovley trapunto tail and body making him stand out from the other elements. His tail has japanese seed beads sewn on to emphasis the splendor of the tail. All fabric is 100% cotton, the trapunto was a polyester batting and the full batting is cotton. The back of the quilt, a solid black, repeats the picture through the quilting in coloured threads, mostly polyester thread with a high shine.</p>girraffeshttp://www.quiltersclubofamerica.com/media/p/627603.aspxMon, 14 Apr 2014 04:07:51 GMT722ae0af-0843-4f69-80d5-ea157d187469:627603Megan Byrne5<p>A lovely baby cot size quilt designed by me using a great girraffe pattern by&nbsp;MorelCabin Creations I bought from craftsy.com. The fabric is all 100% cotton and the girraffe faces have been painted with inktense pencils. I added the monkey for fun. Quilting has been kept simple.</p>All Directions Homehttp://www.quiltersclubofamerica.com/media/p/620048.aspxWed, 19 Mar 2014 04:51:14 GMT722ae0af-0843-4f69-80d5-ea157d187469:620048Megan Byrne1<p>I&#39;ve been experimenting with thread painting as a quilting element. This quilt made of all solid coloured 100% cotton fabric and cotton wadding used needleturn applique in the compass centre and directions, thread painting of Australian animals and birds, bounding Kangaroos in the border with native turtles and starfish and right up in the corner a little map of Australia.
